He has now revealed plans to launch his own rival show, revealing that media interviews he’s given since being given the axe from ‘BB’ mean he has the finances required.

In a post on his Facebook page, which shows him sitting in a sports car with a wad of cash at hand, Andrew explained: “I've got £100k in cash, I'll get my own mansion, my own contestants, and I'll make the show good.

“Everyone who gets in gets paid £1,500 instantly to cover costs. Any money raised from adverts broadcast will go into the prize pot for whoever wins.”

He’s now looking for six men and six women to take part in his show, which he promises will feature “no rules” and “unlimited alcohol” (which doesn't sound too different from regular 'BB', if we're being honest).
